Former big cat aspiring to become a martial arts practitioner
In a surprising turn of events, Croatian television personality and actor, Filip Pavlovic, has expressed a keen interest in transitioning to combat sports. This shift, while not uncommon among celebrities, marks a new chapter in Pavlovic's career.
Pavlovic's foray into combat sports seems to have begun around five years ago, as his talent in the ring became evident. One of his most notable victories was against Paul Janke in a boxing match, a bout that ended in a swift 90 seconds with Pavlovic sending Janke to the canvas. This encounter took place on Sat.1's "Promiboxing".
Despite Janke's reported displeasure with Pavlovic's combat sports talent, the Croatian star has greater ambitions. His sights are set on MMA, with the intention of stepping into the Octagon in the near future.
Pavlovic's new career goal is to let his fists do the talking. However, as of August 2025, there is no verifiable record of his participation in MMA or boxing events. No official UFC or boxing records list Pavlovic, nor do combat sports event sites such as Fight Nation Championship show his name.
The Croatian MMA series, FMC, is set to make its debut in Germany next year, and Pavlovic's talent and ambition have not gone unnoticed. If he performs well in the boxing ring, FMC has expressed interest in preparing him for MMA.
Pavlovic's history extends beyond combat sports and reality TV. He has been most at home in trash TV formats, having previously participated in "Die Bachelorette". However, his conversation with RTL revealed his intention for a career change, marking the start of his journey into the world of combat sports.
For the most accurate and updated information on Pavlovic's combat sports activities or career changes, checking his official social media channels or recent interviews is advisable.
Pavlovic is aiming to enter the world of mixed-martial-arts (MMA), intending to step into the Octagon in the near future. Although there is no official record of his MMA participation as of August 2025, the Croatian MMA series, FMC, has shown interest in preparing him for MMA if he performs well in the boxing ring.
